all of a sudden i've got a hankering to drive to ikea for some meatballs and lingonberries.

We were in Stockholm last summer eating lunch with third cousins. They took me to a restaurant owned by the Swedish Academy - The people who hand out the Nobel Prizes. They have a private dining room upstairs where the Nobel committees meet. I had the meatballs and lingonberries. Yum. Did not get a Nobel Prize. Nuts.

But why would you want to? Looking at the price of gold, then thought of goldschlagger, then researched gold as an edible...and ultimately ended up here, yup, one of them days that sometimes produces these little gems.

"Yeah, I'd like to return this jar of peanut butter."
"Umm...sir, it's empty."
"I know. It didn't last as long as I thought."

***Gagging*** "But sir, they're used."
"Yes, I know. The package says they're good up to 20-25 lbs, and not one of these is holding more than a pound."
